The British government has released its White Paper setting out its Brexit plans.

But Labour’s shadow Brexit secretary Sir Keir Starmer has criticized the document, arguing it “says nothing.” He said it was “produced too late in the day to ask meaningful questions.”

"That is completely unacceptable," Starmer added.

The 77-page document, promised after pressure from MPs, outlines the government’s 12 principles, including migration control, taking control of Britain’s own laws, and protecting workers’ rights.

The contents of the White Paper are nothing new. The document is structured as list of Prime Minister Theresa May’s previously-declared 12 principles. However, they now represent chapters, with more detail.

The White Paper says the government wants to secure the status of EU citizens who are already living in the UK, and that of UK nationals in other member states as soon as possible.

However, the White Paper contains very few details on the new system that will be introduced.

It says: “We will create an immigration system that allows us to control numbers and encourage the brightest and best to come to this country, as part of a stable and prosperous future with the EU and our European partners.”

“We will forge a new strategic partnership with the EU, including a wide reaching, bold and ambitious free trade agreement, and will seek a mutually beneficial new customs agreement with the EU,” it says.
